Look at the Benefits

Serving clergy and clergy survivors since 1784, The Corporation has assets in excess of $16 million to provide:

Gratuities are need-based and granted twice annually for living expenses and emergencies. These tax-free gratuities are determined by the Board of Managers. Recently, 24 survivors received $147,000 in gratuities for education of children, maintenance of a decent living standard, nursing home care, medical expenses not covered by insurance, mortgage or rent payments and other emergencies.

Annuity to beneficiaries. The Annual annuity check has recently been increased to $1,500 a year, for payment to each beneficiary, regardless of need.

A $10,000 death benefit to assist with final expenses (increased from the original $1,000).

Free dinner for the member at the annual spring membership meeting. The dinner alone is worth more than the yearly dues and the gathering is a great evening out for all. Dinner guests are included at a very reasonable cost.

Now you know the secret and why joining The Corporation is one of the best things you can do for those you love.
